/usr/share/ contains a folder named e16 but not inside /doc. There is no /doc.
What kind of message is this and why emerge fails?

I have Portage 2.1.11.9.
In Gentoo wiki says about "sets" folder and other things, which are only available with Portage edition 2.2 or greater. Do I have to unmask the latest Portage version, in order to have a normal compile and install of E17?

And last, but not least, if E17 emerges, E16 will be lost? I would like to have both on my machine.

1. If you want to use the e17 WM, all you need is enlightenment-9999 and its dependencies. You don't even need any of the e_modules; in fact many of them are unstable and not recommended for use by upstream. Similarly, you don't need any of the python-* packages from the overlay.

2. If you want to use e16, then stick to using the released 1.0.x versions instead of the live version.

3. For using with slim you can add the file /etc/X11/Sessions/enlightenment (make sure it is executable)

First of all, thanks fore the response, my friend.
I use gdm instead of slim, as it recognized from the first time both wm installed, which are fluxbox and e16.
How can I emerge this enlightenment-9999 with all its depencies?
Why does emerge enlightenment-0.16.9999 (is this the E17?) fails?
Do I must to pass to Portage 2.2 which is masked?
And, finally, what do you mean by:

4. You can have both e17 and e16 installed at the same time since they don't clash.

You emerge it by

Code:

emerge -av "=enlightenment-9999"

Going by the slot it is in in portage (look at the output of "eix enlightenment"), it is e16 and not e17. That's why I asked you to emerge the 1.0.x version of e16 and not this version.

2.2 is not needed.

Thanks in advance.

e16 is in slot 0 while e17 is in slot 0.17, so you can have both installed at the same time._________________emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using e from git | e18, e19, and kde4 sucks :-/

Everything seems fine. I don't know what else to test. Maybe ask in #gentoo and some portage guru can help you.

As for the overlay, I personally use only enlightenment because it is maintained by both upstream e developer, and gentoo developer._________________emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using e from git | e18, e19, and kde4 sucks :-/

You probably deleted enlightenment-niifaq by hand instead of using layman to delete it. One way would be to force sync enlightenment-niifaq (if it's possible with layman) and then delete it properly._________________emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using e from git | e18, e19, and kde4 sucks :-/
